I was surprised to hear several Song Thrushes singing this morning, but then it did feel a little warmer and not raining, so perhaps they just felt 'good'.
There was 13 Collared Doves in the church Horse Chestnet and a Mistle Thrush was nearby. A Meadow Pipit flew over to the east.
I visited Stanford reservoir this afternoon, the water level had risen considerably and the bypass was full, the water now very brown. Four 'redhead' Goosanders were present, plenty of Teal c30, two female Shovele a Litle Egret near the inflow plus the other usual species. The number of Cormorants present seems to be increasing, 28 were counted, with others likely present out of view.
In a mixed flock of Tits there were several Goldcrest, Treecreeper and a Coal Tit. Several Water Rail were 'squealing' frequently from the main Reed bed. A Raven was heard calling from nearby. A couple of Goldfinch were feeding on the weed heads and c15 Linnet were in the same area.
